Lydia Clay-Jackson is the kind of lawyer we can all look up to as a role model. In June, she will be sworn in as the president of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, making her only the 3rd woman to hold that position.
I was honored when Lydia asked me to serve as Chair of TCDLA's DWI Committee during her tenure. 2012-13 is poised to be a fantastic year for TCDLA with Lydia at the helm.
Lydia is a fellow NCDD member and a defense warrior in Conroe, Texas.
From her website:
